[wanabidii] Centre for Security Governance eSeminar - Libya: Dealing with the Militias and Advancing Security Sector Reform

The Centre for Security Governance is launching its inaugural eSeminar on November 6th, 2013 to discuss Libya's militias and security sector reform. The event is free and will be held entirely online. Find out more

Since the fall of the Gaddafi regime in 2011, the security situation in Libya has been marked by the widespread presence of non-state and semi-official armed groups, the proliferation of small arms and light weapons and general instability. The twin goals of demobilizing Libya's litany of non-state armed groups—reintegrating them into civilian society—and transforming the country's security sector are widely seen as lynchpins for the restoration of security and the stabilization of the volatile political situation. This is the subject of the first Centre for Security Governance eSeminar entitled, "Libya: Dealing with the Militias and Advancing Security Sector Reform". The event will be held onNovember 6th, 2013 from 1:00-3:00pm EST and is the first instalment of an eSeminar series that will examine key security sector reform (SSR) issues and cases.

The eSeminar will assemble a panel of Libyan and international experts and insiders to discuss the current state of demobilization and SSR efforts in Libya and the way forward for these critical processes:
